One of the best things one can buy for wire tracing..is a "toner"

You simply remove ALL the lightbulbs in your trailer, and hook ONE lead
of the toner to a single wire and then holding your Tracer near each
wire...listen for the tone over the speaker on the Tracer. All the way
back to the trailer connector.

You will find the line that feeds the "sidelights", left and right turn,
stop lights etc etc very quickly. If the tone is heard at the trailer
connector..and the next side light and the next..but nothing on the last
one..there is a break between the dead one and the last known good one.

Etc etc. They are invaluable for checking house wiring, machine wireing
etc etc.



Golite batteries? That sounds like the laxative they use for a
colonoscopy ;-)
